'''Kelvin''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a dedicated, undead scientist with a bevy of freezing abilities to slow his enemies and heal allies. He can conjure an '''[[Kelvin#Ice Path|Ice Path]]''' under his feet for faster movement for himself and his team, throwing '''[[Kelvin#Frost Grenade|Frost Grenades]]''' and firing his '''[[Kelvin#Arctic Beam|Arctic Beam]]''' at nearby enemies to set them up for his companions' attacks. Tactical usage of his '''[[Kelvin#Frozen Shelter|Frozen Shelter]]''' ice dome can protect and heal allies while trapping hapless opponents.

As an adventuring scientist, Kelvin was particularly excited for rumors of an 8th [[Astral Gates|Astral Gate]] opening in the Arctic, developing an expedition to hunt for it. However, something went wrong with the expedition, vanishing into the snow and leaving Kelvin's frozen, animate body to be discovered over a year later. With no memory of the expedition, Kelvin seeks the Patrons for answers.

A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes. The crew chipped away at the ice, looking to get a closer look at the body and were shocked when Kelvin opened his eyes. They checked his vitals… there was no pulse. They sought to bandage his open wounds… there was no blood. And yet, impossibly, Kelvin was "alive".

In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Kelvin: High, Average, or Low chance.
